DeSci and MeMe coin: Blockchain-driven Financial Technology innovation
DeSci, MeMe coin and Innovation: A Symphony of Technology and Finance
Recently, the blockchain world has been swept by a wave of DeSci (Decentralized Science), from various imitation projects to new moves from established DeSci platforms, and the fluctuations in market sentiment. This storm has engulfed the entire crypto space. Some even compare DeSci in 2024 to DeFi in 2019, heralding a potential major transformation.
Concepts such as "open-source scientific papers" and "redefining the research paradigm" have excited many cross-disciplinary individuals. For some, cryptocurrencies with positive external effects seem more attractive. However, we need to consider: Does MeMe coin really need such positive effects?
Some believe that the essence of MeMe coin is a digital lottery of the 2020s, providing the younger generation, eager for wealth, with an opportunity to participate in wealth redistribution. Ascribing noble significance to the lottery may only increase the losses of the ignorant, rather than truly creating positive value.
However, from the perspective of communication studies, MeMe币 trading is essentially an attention market. A good narrative, whether it emphasizes positive effects or cultivates a certain culture, can become an effective medium of communication. In this regard, DeSci indeed provides a nice honor market conspiracy for MeMe币.
Conversely, DeSci also needs the explosive growth effect and market attention brought by MeMe coin. Despite the support from major trading platforms and well-known figures, DeSci projects have been seen as niche areas, making it difficult to attract mainstream funding.
So, can DeSci become a disruptive innovation like DeFi? There is a glimmer of hope for this question. Borrowing from the philosophy of science, science is not only about truth but also involves power structures, particularly the established order of the scientific community. Whether it is research DAOs, Pump Science, or the so-called "pirate-style plundering", they are all trying to challenge the existing scientific power system through new forms of organization, funding, and collaboration.
Although these efforts are like a spark among stars, they bring warmth and hope to the cold winter nights. However, we must also be soberly aware that DeSci lacks the strong financial attributes of DeFi, especially in terms of composability and the ability to leverage, which makes it difficult for DeSci to create massive new assets like DeFi.
Overall, the combination of DeSci and MeMe coin demonstrates the potential of blockchain technology in promoting scientific innovation and financial innovation. Despite the challenges faced, the development in this field is undoubtedly worth our continued attention.
